gollark: Ah, a true programmer.

gollark: What does that have in it?

gollark: I mostly learned to program by doing random projects, reading various random tutorials for things, having to debug weirdly broken stuff, reading some people's code, sort of thing.

gollark: Besides, it's easy to navigate them just by scrolling right/left and having them be divided into multiple windows.

gollark: Also, I get to dazzle people with my tab count.
